Why in the hell do you think you need to carry your FCC license? (Do they still issue those?!?!)
Carry your medical in your wallet, like you always do, and your passport stays in your crew flight bag, for U.S. customs. I never ask for a passport. That's what the gate and CASS are for. I just want to see a valid company ID.
(If you're JS'ing on the bid D, all bets are off.) Offline, you should probably carry your passport, but what do I know?

Do you just rely on your other pilot to be carrying his when you get an international trip?

Fanny pack inside of my backpack.
Get it right.

The FCC permit is required to be carried by my company and its been required by every company I've worked for.

Your shop may be different, but I would double check your FOM/GOM to make certain.

Same thing here but I'd throw in a credit card or $50 in case you forget your regular wallet. Learned that lesson the hard way...

Everything I need is in here except passport. There is a dull side and a shinier side. Put your known crew member card on the shinier side so it will scan properly at TSA. I noticed with mine if you put it on the duller side it won't scan and you have to take it out. On the other side I just put my airline ID. Everything else in the middle.

Sigh...
Ok, mea culpa. I'm wrong, I popped off and I stuffed both feet in my mouth.
The FCC license has never been a thing here. The company has it on file, but I've never carried it. I've never been asked for it, even in Mexico and Canada. Maybe I should start digging, it's at home, somewhere. Still looking for an FOM reference too. Carry on.

I'd rather have you stuff your feet in your mouth on here than in front of the FAA if you get a random check. You never know. Not like that paper takes up space in your wallet.

My FOM says I have to carry it. Maybe that's for international.

Did the FAA remove the requirement to carry your cert? Every time I've ever had a fed or LCA in the JS they ask to see my cert and medical.

I've been using this for about 6 months now. Love it.

All their other stuff is good too.

Apparently in their wife's panties.
